India Inc remembers Singh, his 1991 reforms
The New Indian Express Bengaluru|December 28, 2024
THE various policies introduced by Manmohan Singh played an important role in lifting India's economic growth and making it a powerhouse, top business tycoons said while remembering the former Prime Minister and Finance Minister who passed away on Thursday at the age of 92.

Aditya Birla Group chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla said Singh's most defining contribution was the 1991 reforms, which spurred a multidecadal economic boom and more importantly reshaped the calculus of possibilities for India and Indians.

N Chandrasekaran, chairman, Tata Sons, stated that Singh was one of the stalwarts who envisioned a new, liberalised India that is taking its rightful place in the world.
